The prevailing safety regulations must be observed. The sys-
tem protection installed on the power supply to the charger
must conform to the charger’s electrical characteristics. The
installation of a suitable circuit breaker is recommended. It is
imperative to ensure that when fuses are being replaced only
fuses of the specied type and of the correct are used. It is
strictly forbidden to use inappropriate fuses or to short-circuit
thefuseholders.ThisequipmentconformstoClass1safety

If the charger is to be stored before its use, it must be
kept carefully sealed in its original packaging. It must be
stored in a clean and dry location at a moderate tempera-
ture (-20°C to +40°C). Equipmentstored at a temperature of
less than 15°C must be brought progressively to operating
temperature (over a period of 24 hours) to avoid any risk of
condensation causing electrical faults (particularly short-
circuits).
